# Scholarr
|
|
|
|
Scholarr is a self-hosted author watchlist and publication tracker. Follow researchers, learn
|
|
when they publish, and find legal open-access copies of their work.
|
|
|
|
The rewrite is pre-alpha. Its product direction and interface are settled, and the architecture
|
|
specs are being frozen before implementation begins.
|
|
|
|
## Non-negotiable rule
|
|
|
|
Scholarr never makes network requests to Google Scholar or any other Google endpoint. Imported
|
|
Scholar IDs and URLs are inert metadata and human-clickable links only. Publication data comes
|
|
from documented APIs such as OpenAlex, Crossref, arXiv, Unpaywall, and ORCID.
|
|
|
|
## Technical direction
|
|
|
|
- Go backend
|
|
- Vue frontend
|
|
- SQLite only
|
|
- Multi-user, with a globally deduplicated publication store and per-user follow/read state
|
|
- Internal auth, generic OIDC, and trusted-header auth in v1
|
|
- Config-driven operation and simple first-run onboarding
|
|
|
|
See [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) for the full project constraints and [TASKS.md](TASKS.md) for the
|
|
ordered work queue.

## Frozen interface contract
|
|
|
|
The reviewed interface contract is in [design/DESIGN.md](design/DESIGN.md). Its tokens, component
|
|
reference, icons, logos, favicons, and proof implementation are checked in beside it. These files
|
|
are the source for the Vue port, not an application implementation.

## License
|
|
|
|
The license has not been selected yet. Until a LICENSE file is added, normal copyright rules
|
|
apply. License selection is an explicit project decision in [TASKS.md](TASKS.md).
